Car Crash Injures At Least Six Near World Trade Center In Lower Manhattan

NEW YORK (CBS News) — At least six people were hurt when a car ended up on a sidewalk after crashing into two other vehicles in Lower Manhattan.

CBS New York reports the collision occurred around 1:20 p.m. Thursday afternoon when a Lincoln Town Car and Ford Explorer collided at Broadway and Liberty Street near Zuccotti Park. The SUV then struck a person on a bike.

The Lincoln kept going down Liberty Street before crashing into the back of a third vehicle and jumping a curb.
